"Come, attack me." Cisco picked up a steel shield from the weapon rack, turned to Arthur and said, "Don't think too much, you don't have the ability to hurt me." ”

In the backyard of the "Moon Vaska" longhouse, there is a large flat rocky ground used as a martial arts arena, and around it are some auditoriums equipped with wooden pergolas, and all kinds of weapons are hung on the weapon racks on the side of the field, because it is late, and torches are lit.

"That's right, beat him!" Artis coaxed from the sidelines.

Ella was talking to Whitemane in the house, the three Wells brothers also had something to say to each other, and there were only a few members of the nocturnal comrade group sitting in those audience seats outside the house, and Arthur could only recognize Artis with dark circles under his eyes, he was probably embarrassed to go to sleep in the living area with those dark circles under his eyes?

Empty-handed and shielded to defend against two-handed sword attacks, and one-eyed? Arthur hesitated for a moment, but immediately looked away under Cisco's fierce gaze, for the look was very similar to that of a wounded snow tiger he had hunted, and that time he had almost bitten off his throat. The wounded beast is the most dangerous, and the one-eyed Cisco Moon has clearly summed up a set of combat methods from his unique perspective that only apply to him, and he is not qualified to question him as a half-warrior.

"Drink!" Arthur raised his sword high to charge his strength, and then slashed down, this move has been confirmed to be effective in the previous battle, ordinary robbers and beasts are completely unable to resist his power, the consequences of parrying and parrying are all by him with a sword and two sections, even if he dodges in time, he can't dodge the follow-up homeopathic slash, if the castration is not exhausted, he can also turn around and sweep away other close enemies.

However, the trifecta was terminated at the beginning.

"Bang!" The steel two-handed sword had clearly slashed the shield, but it did not encounter any opposing resistance, and directly slid over the shield and smashed to the ground, and the huge force caused the stony ground to spark, marking a deep trace.

"The strength is good, but the skill is insufficient, probably used to cut the robbers," Cisco Yue looked down and raised his shield again: "Come again." ”

Apparently, he had excellent judgment and was able to unload most of his power by changing the angle of the shield before the blade made contact with the shield, and if he did it again would be a disgrace, Arthur stepped back and assumed a bayonet stance.

The next attack was summed up against ghouls whose normal injuries were completely unable to stop their movements, and he stabbed hard, turning and performing a whirling slash no matter which side of his body he was on, which usually cut the ghoul's withered body in half, but was also very effective against heavily armored enemies.

"Ding!" "Boom!" Stabbed the shield head-on without slipping away, Arthur was about to perform a whirlwind slash, but the position of the hilt of the two-handed sword was hit with a huge force at this moment, and it flew straight out.

"Hey! Can you do it? Artis is still heckling.

"Heh, do you think of me as a ghoul whose limbs are as stiff as his head?" Cisco Moon shook his shield and said to Arthur, who had gone to retrieve his two-handed sword, "You say you're a hunter, so how about seeing me as the most ferocious beast I've ever encountered?" ”

Whew—Arthur inhaled deeply, swapped positions with his hands on the handles, dragged the greatsword to the ground and didn't raise it, staring straight at Cisco.

At this time, it was no longer the one-eyed Cisco Moon in front of him, but the huge snow tiger with an injured right front paw, Arthur thought that it must be slow to respond to the attack on the right side, but unexpectedly, because he knew that he was sluggish, the snow tiger's vigilance on the right side was higher than that on the left, which made him suffer a big loss, just like now, although Cisco Moon only has one right eye, the shield in his left hand is extremely flexible.

Unless it was an instant wound caused by themselves, those flaws were their advantage, understanding this, Arthur did not rush to attack the shield again, but aimed at the whole body of Cisco Moon, yes, he just asked Arthur to "attack him", not "attack at his shield", this knee-jerk misunderstanding made the first few attacks all fruitless.

Now what he wants to use is a two-handed sword upswing, which is more effective for armor and shield wielders, but the follow-up is still a whirlwind slash that will sell the back and elbow to the opponent, maybe he can forcibly change the direction of the inertia of swinging the sword? In that case, it must be a big surprise for Cisco Month, who is ready to carry out the shield slam step by step.

"Bang-" The giant sword was raised, Cisco Yue calmly swung his shield to draw the power away, and took advantage of the situation to put on a posture of preparing for a shield attack, and at this time, Arthur's two-handed sword castration was exhausted, and under normal circumstances, he could only perform a roundabout attack with inertia, and in that case, he could only be knocked out of his hand again.

Reverse Downward Split - Arthur, who had been prepared for a long time, used his strength to stop the whirling force, and turned to slash at Cisco Yue, who had changed his posture and could not be blocked.

"Ha, I didn't expect you to have this kind of skill, but also-" Cisco Yue was not surprised, and kept adjusting his posture to prepare for this trick.

In that instant, a ray of moonlight fell from the sky, enveloping the entire moon in Vaskar, and a flickering golden phantom appeared on Arthur's blade.

【Ex~calibur！ 】

Boom - Cisco Moon was knocked out from a distance and hit the cliff, he looked fine, staring at a huge black scorch on his armor in a daze, what was not said for the time being.

"Uh...... Hey? Arthur gasped for breath as he watched in amazement as the steel two-handed sword in his hand softened, melted, dripped off, and eventually became a puddle of molten iron on the ground.

Artis was so stunned that he didn't even notice that the half-eaten bread in his hand had fallen.

"Huh? How? Ella accompanied Krako out of the hall, a little surprised by the scene in the field: "The winner has already been decided?" So fast? ”

"Cut, I admit that this kid has what it takes to join us." Cisco finally got up, wiped his armor and walked down the hall, adding as he passed Arthur, "It's still a trick in terms of moves, though." ”

"Uh, old man with a white mane, that was ...... just now" Arthur asked Krako, dropping his two-handed sword with only the hilt left, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky.

At this time, the moonlight beam that had originally shrouded the moon waskar gradually converged and focused on the cliff that the Cisco moon had just hit.

"Hey! New kid! Come up here! From the top of the cliff came a hearty shout.

"Go, that's our blacksmith Erlindil Greymane, he doesn't like to talk, but he's a good man." Krako Whitemane smiled at Arthur, "He should have an answer to your question." ”

"By the way, help me get the shield back~" Ella interjected.

What shield do you want as an archer? Arthur stumbled as he skirted the cliff and ascended the path on its side.

On the platform above the cliff was a large open-air blacksmith's shop, but it wasn't always open-air, a protruding rock wall above the blacksmith was carved into the shape of a giant eagle spreading its wings, and a bright moonlight shone from the sky in the circular space between the eagle's wings, shining several weapons in the cooled pool of the smithy, no, not reflective, but some of them themselves glowing, just like the light attached to the blade of Arthur's sword when he swung it before.

"Boy, you're in luck, you have the talent to use them, and you're just in time for the indefinite date of the 'Moonlight Infusion', which you can pick and take right now." Speaking was an old man who was five or six points like Krako Whitemane, but his hair and beard were gray, and when he had finished his sentence, he turned and went straight to forge a one-handed sword and ignored him again.

This "lack of talk" is rare, but it does explain what just happened, Arthur tried to find a glowing two-handed sword among those weapons.

This is the "Sky Furnace" known throughout the sky, it is as old as the history of the Brothers-in-Arms, on the night of the indefinite date, there will be moonlight falling from the sky, at this time the forged weapon will come with the "Moonlight Infusion" effect, as for the specific fire or ice infusion, it depends on which of the two moons is given the moonlight.

But only the people within the comrade group know that although they do not need the replenishment of soul stones like enchanted weapons, the frequency of excitation is not the same, after many experiments, it was found that even if it is the same weapon, the probability of letting different people use the excitation effect is not the same, but the effect of the same person to activate all weapons is exactly the same, which leads to another concept, "moonlight adaptation" physique.

A person who is weakly adapted, may not see a single effect after dozens or hundreds of attacks, and the infused weapon is just an excellent steel weapon for him, while a person who is well adapted may be able to fly out of a tongue of fire or ice blade with a dozen swords - this kind of person will generally be directly recruited into the comrade group.

As for Arthur, he didn't use an infused weapon, and he could have an effect just by being illuminated by moonlight...... It is absolutely impossible for the comrade-in-arms group to release people, and if the frequency of infusion of weapons is considerable, it is entirely possible to directly become a leader.

Arthur picked out a two-handed sword with blue decorations, and waved it a few times, and the sword was once again glowing with golden light, which made the gray-maned old man pause in the action of striking iron in his hand.

When the steel sword fell, Arthur sat down directly on the ground and began to gasp for breath, which frightened Erlindil directly to throw away the work in his hand and come to help him.

"I'm sorry, I'm fine." Arthur refused the old man's support, gasped twice and stood up on his own: "Looks like I have to keep it from activating, it's too physically draining - by the way, Ella said she has a shield to repair here?" ”

"Talos is on top." Erindil Greymane seemed to have no idea what to say, and muttered to himself to fetch Ella's shield and give it to Arthur.

"Could it be that you are defending against cold arrows on your back?" Arthur checked Ella's shield, it was just an ordinary iron shield, so he waved goodbye to the old blacksmith: "I'll go back first, old man, you should rest early~"
